Governance
RadixOS binds explicit human judgment into a durable record. Governance emerges from authored decisions, not inferred alignment or retroactive narratives.
Boundaries
- Not legal advice.
- Not a compliance claim.
- Not execution management.
- A description of governance posture: artifacts, review surfaces, and traceability.
Governance artifacts
Visible surfaces
- Decisions — the decision record surface.
- Architecture — boundaries and system shape.
- Gov — governance surfaces at the company level.
Principle set
- Authority is declared, not inferred.
- Ownership stays explicit and singular.
- Constraints are declared, not applied.
- History stays immutable.
- Review cadence is an explicit choice.
- Silence and absence are explicit states, not implied failure.
Review loop
Review stays tied to the decision record and its declared cadence.
Decision→Execution→Review→Learning
context ≠ decide ≠ observe ≠ execute
What gets reviewed
In scope
- Ownership and attribution
- Constraints and assumptions
- Declared review cadence
- What changed since the decision was recorded
Outside scope
- Outcome grading as “correct” or “incorrect”
- Automated conflict resolution
- Authority delegated to the system
- Performance claims derived from the record itself
Failure modes this posture resists
- Post-hoc narrative drift
- Authority collapse (system becomes the decider)
- Accountability blur (ownership becomes ambiguous)
- Review collapse under turnover
